i got a guided tour today of vlad's place - just wow! its a good thing he was there to show me, cause his entrances were, shall we say, devious. i would never have found them on my own! it's given me so many ideas

As other have said, well worth the trip!
What i thought was super, was he didn't use uber rares; anyone could do this. yeah, he used a lot of rubble, but rubble is still available, and not that expensive.
And all the plants could be switched out with normal plants, rocks too. Really, the only thing 'rubbley' that cant be duplicated are ... um....well, nothing. everything he has could be switch with something else - a reward, token items, house design...
i know his influence will be showing up in my next house!
